This book is dedicated to gifted high school students as a reference that can be used in making a career choice, but is also useful for the reading audience that is interested in American history and progress in space exploration. The book includes a brief history of early rocket engines, rocket engines developed during the 20th century, design elements of rocket engines describing how rocket engines work, furure rocket engines for exploring the solar system and starship propulsion. The final chapter is an exercise in designing a space hotel and a very large space launch rocket.
Reviews
“All About Rocket Engines” by author Edward Hujsak offers an interesting in-depth look into the world of rocket engines. With color photos, diagrams, charts and the conversation style in-which it was wrote made this book an interesting read. For once I wasn’t bored with the stuffy tones that normally accompany science books, I was eager to learn, to soak up the offered information. I think that this book would be an exactly addition to both school libraries as well as those who are home schooling. I see this book as a stepping stone helping readers bridge the gap in the field of Rocket Engines. I guarantee this book will spark interest in many students.
